I would call that stress (isn't everything stress?). But I would also call it opportunity. It's all in how you handle the challenges.

"... people who don't like stress ..."
Is it somehow not stress when the SME for your doc update tells you, "Sorry, I not allowed to talk to you any more. I'm on another project now.
You'll have to get your info from Joe Newguy," and Joe knows nothing about the project except what he's been reading in the existing version that you're trying to rewrite?
